Honeywell demo shows fused SVS/EVS views
Honeywell has given the aviation world its first glimpse of a cockpit technology that developers say will change the way future pilots aviate by combining

Honeywell has given the aviation world its first glimpse of a cockpit technology that developers say will change the way future pilots aviate by combining the views of a synthetic-vision database of obstacles, topography and airports with a forward-looking infrared camera on a single cockpit display.

The company wasn’t the first avionics manufacturer to explore such a concept–and Honeywell concedes that it probably won’t be the first to bring the technology to market–but nonetheless it relished the opportunity to be the first to publicly demonstrate the merging of synthetic-vision system (SVS) and enhanced-vision system (EVS) visuals on a business jet primary flight display.
